“The much needed and anticipated integration of the Hazardous Materials Operations Course and the Hazardous Evidence Collection Course was made possible due to the wealth of documented quantitative and qualitative data collected from the Level 1 and 3 analyses. This data helped to justify the need for the integration of the two Courses and provided solid evidence to support the proposal up through Executive Management. Following the FLETA Program Standards has provided a framework for the collection and analysis of data year after year, as well as a process to comprehensively evaluate our program, develop and implement changes, and provide consistent quality assurance, constantly enhancing the effectiveness of our program and allowing us to better serve our response personnel in the field.” -- Amber George, Accreditation Manager, FBI Laboratory Division
